Forgot Recovery Password
I forgot my recovery password to login into my Nighthawk RX500 router? What should I do to get into it?

If you can't remember the answer to the security questions, then you'll need to perform a factory reset using the button on the back.
Does the router continue to allow using the correct admin password, or can this be abused for some "fun" DoS?
What are you referring to schumaku?
